I have installed Spacewalk 0.7 on CentOS 5.3 and most everything looks great 
(still learning...)

I'm disappointed to [not] see the results of 'yum grouplist' on a spacewalk 
client system.

All other aspects of the yum-rhn-plugin appear to be functioning properly...


I get the following.

        Error: No group data available for the configured repositories


Running wireshark, I see the XMLRPC response only returns three repomd data 
sections.  (primary, filelists & other)...  
I presume the yum client (rhn-plugin) would take the "group" data if it were 
returned.

Is there any way to load the spacewalk repository with the comps.xml data?

I see some references to this in server/repomd/repository.py  
(http://www.redhat.com/spacewalk/documentation/python-doc/server.repomd.repository-pysrc.html#Repository.get_comps_file)

But I don't know enough about python or backend to make any changes.

I also came across this link which suggested placing an entry in 
rhnchannelcomps table. 
(http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg03114.html)

I think that one came from Cliff @ Red Hat.  I've had no luck with that 
approach.

Does anyone have any insight on how to manage the comps in spacewalk?

Thanks in advance!

-Pete
